Lucian's Dialogues is a collection of satirical and witty conversations between various gods, sea-gods, and the dead. The book features three main sections: The Dialogues of the Gods, The Dialogues of the Sea-Gods, and The Dialogues of the Dead. The conversations cover a variety of topics, from the absurdities of mortal life to the quirks and foibles of the divine. In addition to these dialogues, the book also includes a short play called Zeus the Tragedian, which pokes fun at the conventions of Greek tragedy. Finally, the collection concludes with The Ferry Boat, a humorous account of a trip across the River Styx to the afterlife. First published in 1888, Lucian's Dialogues remains a classic of ancient Greek literature and a testament to the enduring power of satire and humor.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
